Improving your Living Space with a Glass Room
Extension
Moving home is
difficult and expensive – not something that every family wants, or is able to
afford. The current trend in the housing market is to improve existing homes,
rather than to buy and move into new ones. More living space is very valuable
and a glass room extension can provide an additional room to use for
the whole family.... Read More

Succulents are similar to cacti in many ways but they can be a lot more temperamental too. A succulent can go from being very healthy and happy one minute, to withering the next. They need the right kind of care to keep them happy and healthy in the long term.
Firstly, succulents need to get enough sunlight. Without it, they won’t be able to grow strong and healthy. Position them... Read More

Gazebos and structures can be bought to place in your garden, creating an attractive focal point for the surrounding areas. There is also the option to build a gazebo or similar structure, such as a pagoda or shelter, which will give you more freedom to choose the appearance. It can also save you money, as buying a ready-made product will usually cost more due to production costs being higher.... Read More

and a glass room extension can provide an additional room to use for

have more beautiful, more spacious and more modern?
What is a glass
room extension and how does it add to your home? A glass room can be used to
extend your existing home with glass, creating a bright and modern room that
doesn’t feel like the rest of the home. It’s different in that you’ll have
panoramic views of the garden... Read More

Succulents are similar to cacti in many ways but they can be a lot more temperamental too. A succulent can go from being very healthy and happy one minute, to withering the next. They need the right kind of care to keep them happy and healthy in the long term.
Firstly, succulents need to get enough sunlight. Without it, they won’t be able to grow strong and healthy. Position them somewhere with around 6 hours of direct sunshine a day (though younger plants may need a little less). You should also rotate them often so that all sides of the plant get enough sunlight and warmth.
Water succulents more in summer, and be careful the water is going directly into the soil. Some plants will be greener and healthier if misted with water, but not succulents – leaves can rot and... Read More

It can also save you money, as buying a ready-made product will usually cost more due to production costs being higher.
Gazebos are available in kit form so that you’ll have all the parts you need to get started. If you are feeling more ambitious, you could build a gazebo or pagoda from loose pieces of wood that you have selected, or even chopped yourself. This will be much more labour intensive and the wood might need sanding and shaping. Buying a kit is the easiest option and will still help you to make... Read More

Patio awnings can be a perfect addition to properties of any size, offering style, shade and comfort in the vicinity of your own home. By installing a patio awning, you can increase your access to outdoor space and improve your way of life, with a simple adjustment that won’t be labour intensive. For people with smaller properties, an awning might seem out of the question. But this doesn’t have to be the case at all, as awnings can be suitable for properties of all shapes and sizes. There are various sizes and designs that make them suitable for smaller homes, so that they can provide some additional shade and help upgrade the outdoor areas without you having to compromise and give up too much of your precious outdoor space.
One of the most convenient types of awning to choose... Read More

Decking kits are often used to install decking in a garden or courtyard, giving you everything you need to complete the installation successfully. They can make it easier for you to get decking without requiring professional installation, especially if you have prior experience of installation. However, you would also need to have adequate experience of DIY installation, or you might struggle even with the use of a decking kit.
One of the best things about a decking kit is that it gives you everything you need for the installation. This include decking boards, fixings and anything additional you need like railings. You won’t have to spend the time working out exactly what you need, and you won’t have to choose a specific type of decking board with no guidance –... Read More

Budget Gardening

Gardening on a budget can be difficult, particularly when you're trying to do a complete redesign of the space's layout. You can work around it by trying to get
cheap awnings, cheap gazebos, and cheap furniture all around, but even so it will be difficult. The easiest way of doing it is by
looking on the internet for cheap options, and potentially visiting some thrift/second hand shops, to see if they have any reasonable quality furniture available.

A Perfect Seating Area

Building a perfect seating area in your garden can best be accomplished by using composite decking. This can give a dry and shaded area where you can enjoy the outside air, and it will last for decades.

Garden Fencing – What to Look out For

There are a lot of garden fencing options to choose from, with differences in size, shape and materials, so you should be careful about what
garden fence panels you order. The best material to use is actually plastic
as it will last the longest, but you can get plastics which look like wood fences if that’s important to you.

Different Types of Flower Bulbs

One of the most important things to learn about bulbs is the differences between when they flower and when you plant them. If you plan out your garden well, then through planting a selection of spring, summer, and winter bulbs, you’ll be able to maintain your colourful garden throughout most of the year, with flowers blooming throughout spring, summer and late autumn respectively.

Light after dark

Energy efficient ground lights, wall lights and lamps are now available in innovative designs. The Prisma and Endon designs are a prime example of more contemporary and high tech modern outdoor lights.
